A very old family of Anglo-Saxon origin. Beleived to have lived in Cheshire since before the Norman Conquest, most likely related to the Hollingsworths of the same area. Earliest known ancestor was Hugh Hollyn of Prestbury, Cheshire. It is an exceedingly rare surname, so, most people with this name are probably related.

Anthony Hollingshead was a Loyalist during the American Revolution and escaped to Canada.

Hollingsworth

Like a good whisky a Hollingsworth is distinctive and rare, never boring or average. He strives to realize his full potential while never judging others unless they wear 5Fingers footwear or similar gaybert attire. Because of his many sensual talents, sexy physique and physical attributes, psychological and physical dependence can be a danger. If you find yourself completely addicted there is a treatment facility in Southern Albania on the Ksamil Islands. The waiting list is long and the facility is only accessible by boat because a true Hollingsworth addict would do anything to be near this beautiful and amazing man.

My Hollingsworth addiction is so strong, I need a fix now!

pod person

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.

The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

dead drop

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.

"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.

You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
